Comments
A 4-tuple (m,u,v,w) is a quartet if m,u,v,w are positive integers such that m>v and and m*(m+u) = v*(v+w), with the values of u in nondecreasing order. When there is more than one solution for given m and u, the values of v are arranged in increasing order. Here, m=4; for m=1, see A385182.
